I think it's easier in that i have a lot more confidence and skill at juggling everything. T is still a pretty shitty sleeper, but so was E at 5 months old. I take things more in stride with #2 than I did with #1. You don't want there to be any self fulfilling prophecies going on, lol

Both have been easy! I'm so lucky and scared to jinx it They've both been great sleepers and eaters. The only way LO2 has been harder is the fact that he has reflux. Other than that, he's a pretty easy kid at this point (almost 3 months).

Both super easy. We joked that number two was so easy she should have been a twin, two of her would have been a cinch.

I think it depends. DS2's personality is totally different than his big brother. So in some ways he is easier and in other ways harder. But overall I think having a 2nd kid is easier.

He is demanding but also just because of dealing with 2 kids. He is a better sleeper but more because I had a lot of "lessons learned" and we changed somethings up. He has the same characteristics and personality as his sister.

My first born has been an easy child for the most part. My second however pure spit fire.

Ok, so here's my experience so far:

DS1 is 2, and as a newborn he was pretty easy. Was always a pretty good sleeper (but was also a light sleeper and woke up easily). He had a milk allergy and reflux so that was tough, but even then it just made him fussy - he never was a "screamer" or had colic.

In public, he's really easy most of the time to take out grocery shopping, etc. He saves all his behavior for home, lol. Right now it's hard because he's still adjusting to not being an only child anymore, so he's been acting out and having tantrums a lot more. But a lot of it is normal 2 year old stuff. He can be easygoing in some ways but challenging in other ways - he is very, very sensitive and can be *really* whiny, but I try to be understanding because I was the same way as a kid.

DS2 is only 2 weeks old, so still too young to tell! But he definitely seems more go with the flow and once he's asleep, he will literally sleep through any kind of noise (unlike my first son). I'm finding the newborn stage way easier this time around besides the sleep deprivation, but I think that's because my toddler is way harder right now.

LO1 was a difficult baby (high maintenance, bf issues, horrific sleep), but became a really easy toddler/child as soon as he started to walk.

LO2 was a dream for the first 10 months other than craptastic sleep. Now, she is becoming a defiant and opinionated toddler!

Same if not even easier.

I love this thread. I've been worried about these things too!

Lo2 is only 3 months, but so far she's been just as easy as her big sister! I've been blessed with 2 easy going kids.

This thread is freaking me out! My first was not easy and Id convinced myself #2 will be easy because you always get the opposite. Gah!
